    Lockdown on the 13th...anyone else?

    YAY!! Recieved my Silkie eggs today.

    I received my silkie eggs today. None were cracked! I am hoping my EE's will be here tomorrow. I have read on here to leave the eggs for anywhere from 6-48 hours before putting in the bator. I am a virgin at this so I am nervous. My bator has been steadily at 99.9 and 42% humidity. Is...

    I am very new at this. I have 3 different small shipments of eggs that are supposed to be shipped tomorrow. My question is, once I get the eggs how long do I wait to put them in the incubator.? If I get one batch one day should I wait until I get them all before putting any in the incubator...
